Default Where is this oil leaking from?
Looks like its dripping down the brown cylinder, between the alternator and crank. The leak is pretty slow although sometimes it seems like its on and off.

87k mile 95 SC400 and i noticed the leak after i was lowered scrapping around in Tallahassee.

I had the same leak. It might be coming from the cam seals or valve cover gasket.

I hope it's not your front main seal , it could also be your oil pan gasket.
Take a closer look with a hid flashlight and try trace the oil leak source.
Looks like your belt tentioner is wet
